Howdy, folks.
I got the Eclipse back up and running a few months back and am curious as to what times it's pulling even in the blistering heat. Money's tight right now, but I was wondering if some of you guys could tell me about the tracks around here.
I live in Pflugerville. I've been told about RCR down in San Antonio as a good track, but that's a pretty good hike from me up north. I've done some internet searching and found a "Central Texas Raceway Park", but the web-link is broken so I don't know if they're even still in business.
Fill me in? :)

There is one at 1325 and C. R. 172. When on 1325 north and it t's off at 172 look towards the right and you will see a break in the trees. Theres a quarter mile track there if you dont mind runing with some grass/ debris on the track. :D Oh theres also a fence in the middle of it too. I think it use to be austin park and raceway or something..
Good luck

Do they have a website? Any idea of what nights host what events? Cost of admission?

San Antonio Raceway and Templa Academy Dragway are the only 2 tracks in the Austin Area.
I live in Georgetown and drive the extra 30 min to go to SAR

The Temple track is very interesting to say the least...tree sap is used instead of VHT :D And the spectators can literally put their hand thru the fence and touch a car as it goes down the track :eek: Only track I've seen where you can actually get up close enough to the track and feel the air blow by as the cars go by. And if racing the 1/4 you need to make sure your brakes are in good order, not much room at the end.

TAD does have character, but I will only run therre in 12 sec or slower cars.
after a 1/4mile pass you only have 1/8 mile of shut down and that even has a curve in it
